ETERNAL FLAMING LOVE
The flames of a fire blaze
and flicker up and down
the line of their fuel;
In the furnace of my heart,
love’s flames are flickering
forever upward—warmly.
The salty waters of hate
tease love’s flaming blaze,
but are evaporated smokeless:-
Thus, is love’s warming eternal grace;
for wherever the flames of love abide,
hate’s filthy waters are forever dammed.
